Scope and content

The Shiffolds. - Hopes that his parents are having the 'same perfect weather' as he and Bessie have, which is 'very good for Julian'. He is 'very well' but unfortunately his nurse is ill; the doctor does not think it is really serious, but they must still 'rest her as possible', so Bessie and the housemaid help a great deal. They are trying to find another nurse to help for the next few weeks. It is 'very fortunate that the child is so well': he has steadily increased in weight by 'ten or eleven ounces for the last few weeks'.

Expects his father will be 'entertaining the Ex-President about now': he and Bessie will be 'very interested to hear how he impresses' his parents, and George, whom he believes is with them.

Bessie is playing in a 'village concert' tonight; she is very well, and sends her love. They are glad to hear Robert's mother is getting better; hopes she will 'not get too tired entertaining [their] American visitors'. He and Bessie are 'heartily sick of the King's funeral and everything connected to it'; thinks the Daily News 'could have afforded to be less sensational and fulsome, without endangering its reputation for loyalty'. Will be a 'relief to get back to the realities of party politics'.
